Wade Davis continues to be underwhelming when tried as a starter and ends up being an effective reliever for KC.
The PTBNL is not anyone exciting.
Wil Myers posts 3-4 30 HR seasons in the next 6 years as a full-timer starter for Tampa and makes the All-Star team 4 times.
Mike Montgomery figures it out and becomes a strong member of the Rays rotation by 2014.
Pat Leonard continues to show great power and is a top 50 prospect by the time Shields walks.
Jake Odorizzi makes more effective starts over the course of the Davis/Odorizzi contracts than Davis does.

I had to laugh at one of Rany's grief-laden tweets. He mentioned not being too worried about the loss of Odo because he's a #3 starter with limited upside.
My immediate thought: Then what the **** is Davis?
. Only DM.
